Physicist, Material Scientist, Teacher

Dr Mohan L Verma

Ph.D, M.Sc.

Dr. Mohan Lal Verma is well-known physicist and material scientist, having pioneered work on computational material modelling in India.

He is currently working as Professor and Head of the Department of Applied Physics at SSTC and works closely with students and Ph. D. scholars, guiding them on emerging topics and new subjects. He is also spearheading the work on quantum chemistry based software called SIESTA and is working to help Indian students and teachers become familiar with this new technology that is ready to be launched. He is a an active life member of several professional bodies like National Society of Solid State Ionic, Material Research Society of India, The Society for Advancement of Electrochemical Science and Technology, Karaikudi etc. and is passionate about contributing to scientific development though his research activities.

Dr. Verma is highly accomplished in the field of computational material physics and he works in close collaboration with the faculty of Applied Physics, Michigan University USA for various research projects.

He has published 45 research papers in national and international journals, organized several national conferences and international workshops. Having successfully completed two research projects, Dr. Verma is a highly sought after academician and scientist, who brings his expertise in computational/ mathematical modelling, Siesta and related post processing, plotting and visualization tools and Quantum Expresso. He has also worked on emerging technologies like polymeric electrolytic materials and designing electrodes in the form of nano ribbons and nano belts for different electrochemical and optoelectronic devices viz solid state battery, super capacitors organic light emitting diodes and light emitting electrochemical cells.
